[ DISPLAYING ABSTRACT ]

I read with some amazement the Sept. 20 article by Israel Shenker quoting Dr. Barry Commoner as advocating the closing of cement and aluminum plants in upstate New York in order that New Yorkers might enjoy their air-conditioning. I have always had the highest respect for Professor Commoner, but I confess that this respect is now under some strain.
